Ardegão, Braga

Welcome to one of the most emblematic places in Freixo, just a few meters from the famous centenary tree that gave its name to the parish. This property has unique characteristics: Housing, Tourism or Catering, let your imagination run wild because this 5, 000 m2 farm, with an imposing centenary stone structure, has an unusual potential.The location is strategic and the surrounding area is simply charming. On one side, the old Primary School of Freixo, which is perhaps well preserved, and on the other, the Parish Church, whose interior was recently restored. On one side, a small football ring, and on the other, the beautiful Largo do Senhor dos Aflitos that provides a pleasant and welcoming environment. One of the parish's festivals takes place at the beginning of September in this square. From the time when the property had a bar to be explored, this square served as a parking lot for customers. So if you decide to open a drinking establishment or a restaurant here, you can count on plenty of parking.The land is all flat and measures practically 5, 000 m2. The PDM of Ponte de Lima currently in force indicates that 1/3 is in a construction zone (predominantly residential area - type 1), and the other 2/3 are in agricultural land not included in the RAN (National Agricultural Reserve). Because it is not included in the RAN, the City Council may eventually accept some type of construction depending on its project. Currently this area is covered by vineyards that produce mostly red wine and some white wine. Ideal for rural tourism, guests can enjoy its facilities by tasting its homemade wine.The house has an implantation of 142 m2 and is developed on 2 main floors, so the land registry indicates that the house has 284 m2. The attic has a very high ceiling that, with some works, could become habitable. Therefore, the total of the main structure exceeds 300 m2. You don't need any municipal license to carry out works inside, as long as it doesn't alter the exterior appearance. There are also a number of annexes including a wine cellar. The land registry indicates that these structures make up a total of 152 m2 duly legalized. One of these annexes is large and covered with sandwich screen, it could be the ideal place for a closed garage for several cars. Another of the structures served as a bar in the past as previously indicated.The stone house is centuries old and is in an excellent state of conservation at a structural level. It has a sign on the 2 floors and has 5 entrances, 3 from the main front, 1 from the side, 1 from the back and 1 from the top floor through stone stairs. It already has white aluminum frames with double glazing. It consists of:- 2 antechambers (1 per floor)- 2 large rooms (1 per floor) with the lower one occupying the entire width of the building- 2 kitchens (1 per floor) and the lower one is of regional type with traditional stone oven- 2 bathrooms (1 per floor)- 5 bedrooms (1 downstairs and 4 upstairs)- 1 wooden stairwell, halls and corridors- 1 large attic with high ceilings and several rooms and some windowsIt only needs some basic works to modernize although it is already habitable. If it is for housing purposes, it can accommodate a large family structure with one generation per floor: the grandparents on the lower floor, the parents on the 1st floor, and the children on the upper floor.It is also the perfect place for tourist accommodation. I remind you that one of the annexes is large enough to accommodate several cars and can serve as a private parking lot for your guests. Another possibility is to take advantage of this large structure to create more accommodation, and there will be no shortage of parking in the square. Guests can enjoy the vineyards while watching the children playing in the football ring.The creation of a restaurant with views over the vineyards, the church and the Largo is another possibility. There is no shortage of terraces here and parking is plentiful.
